Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

But Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

And having a high priest over the house of God;

Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their manner of life.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
